We acknowledge with gratitude the financial support of the Office of Naval Research, ONR under Contract # N00014-86-K0620. We also thank Dr. Richard S. Miller and his co-workers at ONR for providing the initial impetus and for their continuing feedback and support. We thank Mr. J. Graybill and Baker-Perkins Inc. for an equipment grant which partially covered the total cost of the twin-screw extruder and Messers. B. Loomans and Kowalczyk of Baker-Perkins for their help.

N2 - Currently, the selection of elements and operating conditions in the mixing of various materials in a co-rotating twin screw extruder is an art which requires previous experimental studies. In this report, we outline various experimental and theoretical tools developed to investigate the mixing process in a fully intermeshing co-rotating twin screw extruder. The thermo-mechanical history of mixing is simulated employing the finite element method. To verify the numerical findings, experimental techniques were developed to investigate the goodness of mixing of samples collected from a 50.8 mm, clam shell design, Baker-Perkins twin screw extruder.
